‘LiDAR’ is an acronym for ‘Light Detection and Ranging’. It is a measurement, surveying and mapping system, similar to radar, that uses laser pulses instead of radio waves. The ability of LiDAR to collect vast amounts of data makes it highly accurate as compared to other digital surveying and mapping technologies. With the rapid development of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation Unit (INU) technologies, LiDAR has become a commercially feasible technology over the last decade.

The high cost of LiDAR services was one of the main reasons for the stunted growth of the LiDAR market from early 2000 to 2006. Since then, the adoption of LiDAR has been on the rise, bringing in further technological advancements and reducing the average selling price. The demand for LiDAR technology, especially in the digital mapping sector, has grown over the last five years due to the rising number of LiDAR service providers. The introduction of hand-held, low-cost LiDAR systems is expected to revolutionize the surveying industry over the next five years.

The report segments the LiDAR market by product type, application, and geography. The chapter on application segments the Middle-East and Africa LiDAR market on the basis of different application sectors such as government, military, defense & aerospace, civil engineering, and so on.
